Annie Haslam with Magenta - Night and day

[Lambsie]

The long-anticipated collaboration between Magenta and Annie Haslam "Night and Day" is now available. This four track EP contains three versions of the song written by Rob and Christina especially for Annie, plus a lovely instrumental written and performed by Rob Reed called "Essence of Love". The Annie Haslam painting of the same name, which adorns the cover of the single, inspired this piece. Sound clips will be posted shortly, but in the meantime you can read more about the project from Annie and Christina at www.magenta-web.co.uk/nightandday.html . The song also features the entire Magenta live band plus a stunning contribution from Troy Donockley (Mostly Autumn/Iona) on Uilleann Pipes and Whistles.

Tracklisting:
1. Night and Day (lead vocal by Annie)
2. Night and Day (evening mix)
3. Essence of Love
4. Night and Day (duet with Christina)

The EP can be purchased immediately from www.progrock.co.uk and www.sonicbond.com.

I really like the new Magenta ( and loved "Seven"). However, in the next to last song on the New York Suite disc, there's a guitar lead that is a duplicate of Gilmour's on "Dogs". That lead should be retired, and never tried again

Thanks for the info about this and the England concert Lambsie!
